Found hostname in host_name_address_map: 192.168.1.254 Note: output edited "hostname" is a host that doesn't answer on port 80. Two different systems on two different networks, that might explain the difference in timeout times. Well, Daniel Stenberg maybe you should try to get your cURL implementation accepted.
